I wonder if he was thinking specifically of Metal Gear Solid or something similar.

    Is it really bad?

    I've only ever heard praise for how groundbreaking it was from games journalist types, which is convenient when hardly anyone in NA had a dreamcast.

    The game's budget exceeded the sale price multiplied by the number of consoles.

    Surely with a budget like that, the game did things no other game of the time could do?

      I've seen some very extensive reviews of it that are almost beat by beat, hours and hours of grinding forklift driving and other minigames to maybe learn a shrug or block move, and the payoff at the end is... a cliffhanger, to the next game, and repeat in the next, and ultimately, no real story payoff. It just fizzles into nothing.
